just wondering

[ISTOTOSAO]

Does anyone else have problems with there key blinding them about mid day. I just painted mine flat black to stop it.

Hell Yea....It BLINDS YOU!

I Wrapped black electric tape around mine once I got to the shop but before that, I dropped a shop rag over the steering collum and key.

It is damn bright eh?


This is something that I noticed in South Florida around March actually, angle of the sun. I hurts dude..

Can't say I have. They just hang there on the side and don't bling bling if you know what I mean. (No dirty minded jokes please):p

No Sh*T!! I just found that out the hard way today. Some sort of tape shoud resolve the issue. Yes, Yes.
:eek:

looks like the paint that I used wasn't meant for keys. It just rubbed off this morning. I think I'll try the tape now and see how that works, or get car primer to paint it with. First time I found out about this was mid turn in the mountains. Wasn't fun.

The cure is to have the key sandblasted at the hold area down to the grooves. This finish can now be painted and it will hold up.

Folks, I happened upon the key section of my local home depot and found they copy nissan keys for $1.50. They also have key blanks with a solid black plastic end for an extra 50¢ which was well worth it imho. No more hot shiny key problems :D
